Introduction: Balance deficit during gait is a factor that affects older people’s mobility. It’s related to an increased risk of falls, hospitalization, and mortality. Regular physical activity is an easy and low-cost strategy to improve older adults’s functional mobility.

Abstract Background The Figure-of-8-Walk test (F8WT) is a performance measure of the motor skill of walking. Unlike walking speed over a straight path, it captures curved path walking, which is essential to real-world activity, but meaningful cut-points have yet to be developed for the F8WT. Methods A secondary analysis of 421 community-dwelling older adults (mean age 80.7 ± 7.8), who participated in a community-based exercise clinical trial, was performed.

So, evaluation of balance and bone density is important in middle-age in women, so that we can plan and administer proper treatment strategies at an early stage which can reduce risk of falls and fractures.

However, many SCA patients have an elevated baseline eGFR due to low serum creatinine levels from reduced muscle mass, abnormal tubular secretion of serum creatinine into the urine, and/or high cardiac output from the hemolytic anemia (PMID: 23894560, 20185605).

Abstract Background To assess disease activity in ulcerative colitis (UC) intestinal ultrasound (IUS) highly correlates with endoscopic outcomes. However, data on treatment response evaluated with IUS is limited. In this study we aim to evaluate bowel wall thickness (BWT) at follow-up to determine treatment effectiveness in moderate-severe UC patients treated with tofacitinib according to central read endoscopy and histology. Methods Patients with moderate-severe UC (endoscopic Mayo score (EMS)≥2) starting tofacitinib 10 mg bid were included. Disease activity was evaluated by recorded IUS cine

Abstract:

BackgroundOsteoarthritis (OA) is a chronic disease characterized by degradation of joint structures including the subchondral bone, the synovium, and cartilage. Aggrecan constitutes a major component of hyaline cartilage and plays an important role for its normal function. In OA, aggrecan is gradually lost, which together with cytokines, proteases, and circulating pro-inflammatory fragments of hyaluronic acid (HA) further accelerates tissue destruction. SB-061 is an aggrecan mimetic, composed of a backbone of chondroitin sulfate conjugated to a HA peptide coating protein. SB-061 is believed to
